INSTALLATION
DURA-VENT
TERMINATION KIT
Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct
Vent System installations: horizontal termina-
tion and vertical termination. Confirm the maxi-
mum horizontal run and maximum vertical rise
from the diagrams on pages 12 and 13.
When planning your installation, it will be neces-
sary to select the proper length of vent pipe for
your particular requirements. For horizontal
installations, determine the minimum clearance
from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also
important to note the wall thickness. (The wall
thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall
construction.) Select the amount of vertical rise
desired for "vertical-to-horizontal" type installa-
tions.
Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire haz-
ard. Do not fill air spaces with insu-
lation.
The minimum clearance requirements between
the outer wall of the vent pipe and nearby
combustible surfaces is 1-1/4 inch. Be sure to
check the vent termination clearance require-
ments from decks, windows, soffits, gas reg-
ulators, air supply inlets and public walkways
as specified in the Exterior Vent Terminal Loca-
tions on page 10 and in your local building codes.
To determine the length of vent pipe required for
vertical installations, measure the distance from
the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling
thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
storey, and allow for sufficient vertical height
above the roof line.
For multi-storey applications, fire stops are
required at each floor level. If an offset is
needed, additional pipe, elbows and supports
will be required.
Do not exceed the maximum number of elbows.

point, stainless steel). Note: pilot holes will
need to be drilled through the wall thimble
on all 4 corners.
Note: The four screws provided for the
vent cap should be replaced with
appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
6) A bead of non-hardening mastic should be
run around both the termination and vinyl
siding standoff to prevent water from en-
tering and to make a tight seal between the
cap and the standoff.
7) Stretch the 4" dia. flex liner out fully and get
a trial fit of the liner onto the 4" dia. starter
collar.
8) Cut the 4" dia. flex liner to the desired size.
Hint: leave an extra 12" to 16" of length, this
will make the final assembly easier to work
with.
9) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner to the 4" adapter
with Mill-Pac and 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws
(stainless steel).
10) Slide the decorative Thimble Cover over
the pipe sections and secure with 4 screws
(#8 x 1-1/2" drill point, black) to the wall.
11) Slide the 90
o
elbow (crimp end up), the 45
o
elbow and the 4 ft. pipe section (crimp end
up) over the 4" dia. flex liner.
12) Install the spring spacers onto the pipe
sections.
13) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner with adapter
onto the stove collar. Put a bead of Mill-Pac
around the appliance adapter and secure
with 3 screws (#8 x 1/2, stainless steel).
14) Attach the 45
o
elbow onto the starter collar
by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high tem-
perature silicone and securing with 3 of the
#8 x 1/2" (black) screws.
15) Attach the pipe section to the 45
o
elbow by
sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high tempera-
ture silicone and securing with 3 of the #8
x 1/2" screws (black). Pipe seams should
be facing the wall.
16) Attach the 90
o
elbow onto the pipe section
by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high tem-
perature silicone and securing with 3 of the
#8 x 1/2" screws (black).
17) Slide the adjustable pipe section onto the
90
o
elbow. Slide the trim collar over the
adjustable pipe sections to cover the joint
of the telescopic section.) The flex may
have to be compressed back in order for
the adjustable pipe to properly mate to the
elbow. Seal with Mill-Pac and/or high
temperature silicone and secure with 3 of
the #8 x 1/2" screws (black). Pipe seams
facing down.
18) Install the trim collar over the starter collar
and secure with a #8 x 1/2" screw (black).
If the pipe needs to be touched up, use only
Stove Brite High Temperature Metallic Black
Stove Paint.
NOTE: All inner joints must be sealed
with Mill-Pac. All outer joints may
be sealed with high temperature
silicone.
